I have searched and read many blogs but I can't find an answer. 1. Does a DE filter remove copper ions? 2. Do they copper ions oxidize or somehow become inactive due to a slow chemical reaction with chlorine, or heat, etc? 3. Basically, I am wondering if I need to consistently add copper ions...

It's a kidney shaped pool, and I calculated it's about 17,500 gallons. Right now it has 1.5" pipe throughout, all the way until it gets to the 2HP pump and DE4800 filter, both which are made for 2" pipe. There is one main return and that is 25' from the pump. The skimmer is about 75' from the...

I am trying to replace this pump. I inherited this pool when I bought the house. I’m trying to save some money so I don’t want to spend $1000+ for a Hayward variable speed pump. I guess I just need a pump with a comparable flow rate and input voltage, but I cannot find any of the specs for...

I was told a return side leak could never cause a pump to not prime. I tried everything else until today when I finally fixed it! Short story: My basket was full of air. The skimmer was pulling in water very slowly. Despite the pressure being high (30 PSI when running at 3300 RPM) on the...

Is there some sort of ballpark guide for pool size, fitting size, pump, etc. to determine this?

When I first got the pool, during priming at 3400 RPM, if I opened the filter pressure relief valve water would shoot out pretty far. Now it only dribbles out when running at the same RPM. Im thinking this might point to a leak in some seal in the filter. Any thoughts?

Ever since I came into possession of this pool it has had issues. Several, in fact. Let me give some background first. Background: 1. From day one there were small air bubbles in the pool pump, although the water level at the top 2. My pool setup has a Jandy valve to dictate which of my 4...

While doing remodeling I had some of the concrete patio around the pool removed. During this process the PVC pipe for the vacuum port was cracked. It got cracked right next to the edge as it stuck out of the concrete pool form, giving no surface to glue in a union piece to repair. The pipe is...
